I don’t know why, but I love how a lot of older anime had a more gritty and pseudo-realistic style to them, and marred with the intense colors and bat-shit insane visuals makes them so intriguing. Welp, now I have more shit to add to the “watch later” list.

Competitors race in high-speed Formula One-like craft, and spectators bet on the lives of these people for huge winnings. We soon discover Hugh has telekinetic abilities which he uses to destroy the other racers, after quietly observing him in the dark, chronically over-using a training interface inside his penthouse. As the race ends in his favor, the monitors in the pit display "LIFE FUNCTIONS TERMINATED." Mysteriously, though seemingly dead, Hugh continues around the track and is overtaken by a spectral racer. He attempts to employ the same strategy, straining to destroy the opponent, but in truth it is against his own mind. The force of the telekinesis is directed inward which rapidly tears both Hugh and his car apart. The Death Circus is permanently shut down afterwards; Reporters believing the event's true draw was the spectators' need to see how long Hugh could beat death.

Nothing is more motivating than the impending sense of doom. Living our lives, we forget about our own demise, we forget about the fact that all of us will eventually die. When death comes closer, we can just regret that we haven't done more, that we can't do more. How many times do we live shallow, searching for cheap pleasures instead of fighting for what we truly care? Whenever I hear this song, it just makes me a bit more motivated to sort my life because the worst sin someone can do is not trying to fulfil his own potential. The guy in the anime chased his dream so much he eventually tried to catch his future self... . This song is more about life than death. We live cause we die.

To anyone feeling lost or alone and don't think they can proceed with life, just take a deep breath and hold it down. You ain't alone. Thank you Lorn for helping me through some of my darkest hours.

most underrated comment here

[@matthewhamilton2913]

Thats a scary concept

[@rorylidster4844]

Found Lorn on Christmas Eve (technically christmas) at 3am my Junior year of high-school, there will never be an artist to emotionally and physically effect me more than Lorn. In probably the most vulnerable moment of my entire life, I was saved by the most melancholic sounds to have ever been produced. I cannot explain how much this music means to me, Thank You! btw Anvil is the best song, but this is the best vid B)

[@jdbtracker]

It has meaning, I'm glad you found comfort in it.

[@jaredbenham1078]

Omg same. I've followed his work since then... and it's really inspired my general artistic mood and style ever since. It's like this grungy, gritty, textural thing that just stays with u. It's so cool.

[@illvminatvs3194]

Acid Rain for me but I definitely see what you mean

[@StephanieLinda_]

This is amazing. I feel the same and ALSO YES. Anvil is the best one in my opinion as well !!

[@Bigapple819]

I just spent 3 straight hours looking for this music video. Time well spent.

[@dannymaurice5543]

This song and this AMV must always exist on the internet. I refuse to accept a reality where this video has been scrubbed from youtube and is no longer present on the internet. When that day comes, the remaining scraps of my tattered soul shall linger no more in this realm and dissipate into the cold harsh wind... LongLiveLorn.

[@godzzila]

It goes so well together, I begin to believe they are of the same origin. Great job.

[@victorpquiros]

That feeling of dread after realizing the meaninglessness of existing and that you're more likely trapped in hell rather than anything remotely related to paradise.

[@GRiMFoX11]

When I'm at home on my day of and I receive the call from my command stating that the team is being activated to handle whatever problem there is that requires our expertise. After telling my family I love them very much and kissing them goodbye, I get in my car and play this track. As I proceed down the highway, I think about my training and all the dangers of the entering the unknown and how I'm ready to face whatever there is before me. This song sets the tone for my mind and puts me in the game. Thank you for uploading! Great Track!

[@Dangdalf]

GRiMFoX11 sounds intense, stay strong and be safe out there.

[@TheMatte23]

Lorn songs are often like a black rose. Only those who have crossed the darkness can see the full beauty of this rose and still you prick yourself with the thorn. the pain doesn't hurt that much.

[@shreygt]

This video just goes so well with this track.

[@TheScottishbear]

The anime is a short for the Running Man. A racer with telekinesis. The story is told from the narrators', a writer, point of view. It is one of the best ever made. The music at the end is haunting.

[@Arshay]

I keep coming back. Lorn did something with this song and Acid Rain that will make you bleed emotion. There's no other electronic artist like him. I dare say no other artist like him. A conduit drawing out something suppressed. No words really fully describe it.

[@user-ji6ze9pb2w]

The dude makes the best "Cyberpunk" music in the world. Thumbs up.

[@afrogod7556]

This song gives me some good Blade Runner vibes and Lorn and Dolor often collab kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3_WfWSCga2CsM0

[@sptony2718]

It always feels like LORN and their music videos are just a small cutout of something bigger. Their musictracks sound like previews taken right from the middle of a bigger work and their videos could as well be obscure full length movies. It definitely hits a spot.

[@jicudi]

This is a near flawless amalgamation of sound and sight, both representing the same idea, just with a different sense.

Perfect explanation.

[@Visionasion]

Thanks F.O.G for sending me here. Great song.

[@Calvinxcix]

Sometimes I like to lay in bed at night, when everyones asleep and not a single foreign sound can be heard, apart from the faint buzzing in my lights, my heartbeat and this song playing quietly on my phone beside me. Sometimes its great to have a minute of silence to yourself, when no one can say anything to hurt you, even my thoughts go silent. Sometimes I let a tear roll down, to remind myself I have come this far, and I will continue to go further. Sorry guys, Im feeling nostalgic tonight...

[@pleaseenteranamelol711]

You know those nights when its so silent you can almost hear yourself think?

[@ThePsychicCellPhones]

[@TBZulu]

Two artists, separated by decades but unified in what their art has accomplished. Lorn was born to make Sega Sunset edit for Neo Tokyo. Your soul just feels it. This is glorious. I’m burning, and as you resonate with their art, resonate with me, let’s burn it all out, until we are ones who burn.

[@Only0mar97]

Madhouse studios anime is the best catalogue of anime ever. Paprika, Perfect blue, ninja scroll, animatrix, vampire hunter D, all the cyberpunk stuff including this, mark my words all that will be the new trend in Hollywood fo sho

[@MusicScala]

this has to be one of the most epic music - video combinations ever. Pure bladerunner feeling

[@maxxammax0]

I came across Lorn in a time where I was going through some dark shit. The melancholic vibe in this and many other Lorn songs made it slightly easyer to cope with pointless existance.

[@WhizzComputer]

This is so beautiful, touches my soul. It's like telling you something, that you deeply regret.

This has an Akira vibe to it.

No, there are 3 segments and this segment ("Running Man") was directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri and not Katsuhiro Ōtomo. Katsuhiro directed the third segment ("Construction Cancellation Order").

[@caibra88]

I see so many different translations to this video. Unavoidable tragedy is a big one, however, I also see pushing past our limits. Taking ourselves to extremes that we aren't supposed to go but as humans we inevitably do. I see addiction, yearning for the highest high but that addiction kills you in the end. There's so much to these Lorn videos, truly it's art 🎨 😍

In short: The seasoned undefeated champion “Zack Hugh” of the “Death Circus” has won yet another victory. His trick? While all other drivers are physically there. Zack uses telekinesis to control his car, and a cyborg driver... In this scene: The race is won, and the champ remains undefeated. After all of the other drivers have left the track. Zack goes for a victory lap. He continues to drive on, tearing around the track. A ghost driver suddenly appears. There can only be one champion.. Even after his body is pushed past its ultimate physical limit.. He pushes even further, past death to finish the race. They say it was a ghost of his past self he saw out there on that track...

He wasted his life for nothing if we are being honest.

[@BrandeeMack]

This song isn't just sad--it literally hurts to listen to. Maybe it's the heartbreaking video that pairs so well with it, but just listening to it takes me beyond crying and into something much more soul-wrenching.

[@R00ZBEH]

In my opinion, the man lost his soul by going over the speed limit, and his body continued to drive until he went around in a loop and caught up with his soul, and outstripped himself until he finally died.

[@cloudymuffin]

You are king of amv's. I literally thought the music was written for the video as i have not seen neo tokyo, but I now shall.

[@Dangdalf]

Thanks, I actually was unaware of amv's as a popular trend before I did this, but watch Neotokyo for sure, another really good anime anthology is "Memories" watch both, and listen to more from Lorn, he composed half the music for the new Killzone game as well.

[@LymbicSystemuwu]

I, likewise, have gotten the urge to acquaint myself with this Anime of which I have never heard of before after watching this very well-composed AMV. Might I also add, this song, especially the distorted guitar sound, reminds me of the movie Dead Man, with a soundtrack written by Neil Young.

[@gummyboots]

I think the AMV with the same source video and the song "Wayfarer" by Kavinsky fits just as well, if not better.

[@cloudymuffin]

Pterodactyl I just watched it, it don't think it's better at all. The explosions on beat breaks are cool, but that mirror effect is stupid and the build up and editing quality of this video is 100x better.

[@robo-]

I just love the visuals on this one, it's actually amazing how well it matches the music

*Retro Anime from the video its from "Neo Tokyo" 1987 Segment directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri of Ninja Scroll fame.* *i reccomend you guys watch some like akira / metropolis (2001) / ghost in the shell / kimagure orange road / future war 1980x / geno cyber / megalobox / lain* *serial experiments / Cowboy Bebop / The Animatrix / Steamboy / Freedom / Memories*

[@IgnatianMystic]

A song that evokes driving down a long, winding coastal highway, watching as the sun slowly dies on the horizon, thinking about one critical mistake you made that cost you everything you had in your life. Now, you are left wandering aimlessly, not knowing where you're going next or why. All you know is that you will keep traveling onwards, as your aimless journey seems to be the only thing that soothes the void in your soul anymore.
